Millinery Inspiration: Piers Atkinson

Since becoming a fan of Anna Dello Russo and her amazing hats, I have since discovered that the milliner behind the scenes is Piers Atkinson. I am ever inspired by his avant garde decadence! W Magazine just ran a great interview, read it here. 

I would also recommend a visit to his website for more FUN!

NYFW F/W 2011: MARC JACOBS

 These hats are about the cutest things I've ever seen! Marc Jacobs always delivers statement clothes with just the right amount of femininity. Favorite things: swiss dot tights, pin up shapes, polka dots, teal, peach, black lace, and understated makeup.

Old Money-High Style: DIOR Couture 2010

I am such a sucker for anything John Galliano. In my opinion he is a genius and he knows how to pile on the glam sky high. In this collection he featured so many of my favorite elements: equestrian, veiling, top hats, spats, lace, tear drop crystals, volume, and of course color! Here are my favorites:

Blue Christmas

"I'll have a blue Christmas..." Elvis Presley

Even though my Christmas won't be sad and blue, I would love to be wearing some of these fabulous items! Blue works so well for winter, especially if it's bright, bold, or dark. Paired with pink, yellow, or orange it's a sure winner. Here are some of my favorite etsy goodies that won't leave you with the Christmas blues...

This Hat is for the Birds!

Well, I've finally completed my first hat! It is made from a vintage shoulder pad, vintage birdcage veil, taffeta and 2 darling doves...I think I am addicted. I was very much inspired by the wedding ensemble worn by SJP in the Sex and the City Movie. There is something commanding about wearing feathers in your hair or a bird on your hat.

A Few of My Favorite Things

Over the summer I got some magazines that included some of my favorite fashion spreads. Oh, the hats, the  shoes, the glamour of it all... They inspired me and I wanted to share the inspiration here. Anyone who shares my addiction to magazines will understand that when you find something that really gets in your head, you just can't be quiet about it.
